NEW YORK — Jalen Brunson believed the New York Knicks were headed in the right direction when the calendar turned to 2024.
He didn't realize they would start it with one of the best months in franchise history.
Brunson had 29 points and nine assists, Donte DiVincenzo made a career-high nine 3-pointers and the Knicks beat the Utah Jazz 118-103 on Tuesday night for their eighth straight victory.
DiVincenzo scored 33 to lead the Knicks, who finished 14-2 in January. That was their most wins in a month since going 14-0 in March 1994 and just one shy of their most ever, when they were 15-3 in December 1968.
